Abstract

The work surveyed current position of most West African Ship building outfits through a benchmark study of the building and repair capabilities of these yards vis a’ vis the offshore ocean oil and gas production subsector and posed a great need for massive investments derived from well-established methods like, diamond model. Recommended solutions include immediate revitalization of research on the subject areas of Ocean technology and Naval Architecture. Pathways for quick realization of this objective were based on the evolution of a new industry to academic model that draws from local content experience of advanced countries ocean technology ecosystem. An analysis of Nigeria’s shipbuilding drive was made using existing facilities in her shipyard sector. Application of assembly line system and the modular methods were analyzed to determine best techniques given existing facilities in the region. Benchmark study of the entire sector was made evolving new policy directions for the region’s rich oil sector.
